My guest today is Phil Labonte, vocalist for the well known metal band, All That Remains. Phil is a libertarian who has had it with the direction of the Libertarian Party. He explains his decision to denounce them on Twitter. Phil and I went several different directions in the conversation, and I really enjoyed it. I think you will as well.

My guest this week is the founder and Chairman of the Mises Institute, Lew Rockwell. In 1990, Lew wrote a historic manifesto called, "The Case for Paleo- Libertarianism". This was a case to denounce the culturally leftist instincts of mainstream libertarianism and make the case that liberty thrives much better in a culturally conservative setting. Within the pages of the famed "Rothbard-Rockwell Report", the case was made to cut ties with the Libertarian Party and to back presidential candidate ...

My guest this week is the great Dr. Ron Paul. This is a great honor for me, as Dr. Paul has been an inspiration to me for a long time. His willingness to always stand on principle, no matter how unpopular it may be, has been unwavering, and his commitment to liberty and peace is unmatched by any congressman in the history of this country. He is here to discuss the harmful and disastrous lockdown policies implemented by many countries, states, and cities. As he did during the media blitz and myri...

There is no shortage of dishonest reporting on COVID-19 these days, and we are here to help you understand what is really going on. Statistician extraordinaire Joshua Ketter is back with us to break down not only the COVID facts for Texas but for the country as a whole. How does Texas compare to NY? The NY Times wrote that the situation in Texas was "New York all over again". Why would they lie like that? What numbers are truly important? Is it the death rate? The case rate? Why are death rates ...

My guest this week is the great Dr. Paul Gottfried, author of many excellent books and perhaps the best known paleo-conservative philosopher in the country. He is also the Editor in Chief at Chronicles Magazine. Today he is here to discuss, among other things, his article: "Antifa: Nazis Without a Plan". Dr. Gottfried has written extensively on the history of fascism and anti-fascism and brings to the table a very well-informed point of view on Antifa. We also discuss BLM, the current culture wa...

My guest this week is Mises Institute President, Jeff Deist. Jeff and I discuss many of the aspects of the culture wars in America right now and what it looks like from our perspective. We also get into whether libertarians should attempt to form alliances with groups on the left or groups on the populist right. Jeff is always articulate and has a wonderful take on so many issues. I'm so happy to have had him on the show once again. I think you'll like this chat a lot. Check out more of Jeff's w...

For this episode, I welcomed Thaddeus Russell to the show. Thaddeus is the author of "A Renegade History of the United States" and founder of Renegade University. Thaddeus details his political journey from being born into socialism and an avowed Marxist for years to someone who now loathes the modern left. We get into Thad's reasons for not being a libertarian, his thoughts on the culture wars in America right now, secession, war, the modern left, and so much more. Thaddeus always brings a very...

My guest this week is author and former professor, Dr. Michael Rectenwald. Dr. Rectenwald is here to discuss the themes of his latest book, "Beyond Woke". He has a wild story in that he is a former Marxist who saw the light, walked away from the progressive left, and is now a paleo-libertarian. We discuss the origins of Woke culture and its religious foundations. We also get into how to fix the university system (or not) and the endgame that the Woke Left strive for. (Hint: It's getting rid of y...

My guest this week is author, former Army Intelligence officer, and all-around smart guy, Donnie Gebert.

He brings this mindset to the show as we discuss COVID-19, BLM, Antifa, police violence, and more. It's 2020, and we are never at a loss for crazy moments to discuss, so having a unique thinker like Donnie to chat with is always a plus. I think you'll e...

My guest this week is the 2020 vice presidential candidate for the Libertarian Party, Spike Cohen. Spike is an excellent messenger for liberty and he doesn't disappoint in this interview. We discuss the wars, the war on drugs, Black Lives Matter, open borders, the Federal Reserve, the culture war, pitching liberty to the left and the right, and many more topics.

My guest on this bonus episode is founder of the Detroit Threat Management Center, Commander Dale Brown. Dale and I discuss the mission of his company and all of the services that they offer, including entire neighborhood protection. With defunding the government police being a hot news item, I wanted to look at other models of protection and Dale's organization is truly impressive. Dale believes his company is modeled to work with a local police force but one that is a different variation of ma...

My guest this week is Daniel McCarthy, acclaimed editor of the esteemed journal, Modern Age. Daniel and I discuss the awful people known as neoconservatives and their journey back to the Democratic Party, where they are now in full support of a presidential candidate who supported the Iraq war, Joe Biden. We do a nice dive into neocons, Trump, populism and libertarianism. Daniel is a truly great thinker, and I know you'll enjoy this. Read Modern Age: https://isi.org/modern-age Join the Libertari...

My guest this week is the 2020 presidential candidate for the Libertarian Party, Jo Jorgensen.

This week, we recorded LIVE from the Liberty Tree Tavern in Elgin, TX! I am joined by two co-hosts this week, Bobby Pearson of the Not For Everyone Podcast and Moral Bob of the Conversations About Freedom Podcast. We are at the Liberty Tree Tavern because I wanted to have the owner of the bar, Kevin Smith, on the show. Kevin instituted a "no masks allowed" policy at the Liberty Tree Tavern around two weeks ago when people were still freaked out about dying from COVID-19. As you can imagine, the ...

My guest this week is author and founder of the Rutherford Institute, John Whitehead. John and I discuss the growing authoritarian Police State in America. From lockdowns to murders by cops to the growing technocratic state with contract tracing and further violations of the fourth amendment, more than any other time in history, our civil liberties are under threat. Unfortunately, the younger generation has been groomed to accept things like this through government schooling and agenda-driven ma...

On this bonus episode, not only do I have a great guest in Megan Murphy, but I have a co-host in Bobby Pearson! Meghan Murphy is back on the show to discuss how elements of the left will not stand for her pure version of being a feminist. Meghan is very well known in the feminist movement, having started Feminist Current in 2012, Canada's leading feminist website. She now speaks to large crowds and is often protested by people within the trans community who try to shout her down for standing her...

My guest this week is Alex Epstein, author of the book, "The Moral Case For Fossil Fuels". Alex is here to do exactly what it sounds like: make the moral case for fossil fuels. Alex brings a refreshing perspective to the topics of global warming, CO2, energy, and so on, in that he uses human life as the standard of value. Alex brings overwhelming evidence that mankind's use of fossil fuels is supremely virtuous because using fossil fuels transforms our environment to make it wonderful for human ...

My guest this week is Mises Wire assistant editor, Tho Bishop. Tho is here to talk with me about the "red pill" and what it means to have taken it. There have been many moments in the last several decades where people have had their eyes opened ("taken the red pill") and realized that media, politicians, universities, and other State institutions were lying to them to further a separate agenda: Waco, Vietnam, Iraq, the 2008 crash, the fake Russia scandal, and the list goes on and on. We discuss ...

My guest this week is the great writer, Peter Van Buren. He is here to give his humorous take and brilliant insights on the insane moment that we are living through right now. Many on the left have been paralyzed by a fear of leaving the house, and they're pushing their religion of Statism and Fear on the rest of us. They have become like rescue dogs, constantly imagining new fears and odd things to freak out about. Apparently, the same people that have promised Trump is a Russian spy, we have t...

My guest this week is Mises Institute Senior Fellow and Austrian Economist, Dr Mark Thornton. Mark discusses the economic downturn we are currently in, and it's one that he and many other Austrian economists predicted. It wasn't caused by the coronavirus, although the virus may have been the straw that broke the camel's back. The symptoms of this bust have been in place much longer than the symptoms of the coronavirus. The fundamentals were weak, and the Federal Reserve, as usual, is the problem...

My guest today is Cato Institute Senior Fellow, Doug Bandow. Doug wrote a recent article called, "Now's the Time to Become a Truly 'America First' Military". This coronavirus mess has not only caused an economic shut down and disaster, but congress has voted to spend trillions of dollars to help "fix" things. We now know that drastic changes at the federal level will be necessary. There is simply not enough money for grandiose ideas at that level, so it's now time to end the wars and start pulli...

My guest today is entrepreneur and podcaster Michael Cheney. He has put together a fact-filled eBook detailing many important aspects of the coronavirus. As he puts it: "This is not about conjecture – this is about facts and gathering available data in a way which clarifies what we are being told, how much of that is true, and what we are not being told..." Michael put a lot of research into this book, and I ask him about all of it in this interview. From the death rate statistics, to the issues...

For my 100th episode, I welcome Mises Institute President, Jeff Deist, back to the show. Jeff brings his unique and principled perspective on ways to deal with this Coronavirus moment. We discuss the value of decentralized methods of dealing with many of the issues involved in not only this crisis, but any crisis. Top down, one-size-fits-all solutions do not work in a country of 350 million people. We talk about liberty, the need for civil disobedience, and the necessary break up of a country th...

I am stoked to bring you this bonus episode with none other than The Reverend Horton Heat, Jim Heath! We get into music and politics and everything in between. Considered by many to be the Godfather of modern rockabilly and psychobilly, Jim has been playing music for decades. Now, due to this COVID-19 craziness, he has been forced to cancel all of his gigs. Initially, he was willing to keep playing for his crew and bandmates, but when he announced that, he received a lot of personal attacks from...

My guest today is the great Scott Horton. I brought Scott on to discuss how this COVID-19 pandemic and the costs surrounding it will affect foreign policy. Fighting multiple wars overseas was already unaffordable. Now, there is no longer any reasonable doubt that we can't afford the troop deployment any longer. We also get into how Trump has handled things so far with this COVID-19 craziness, and then Scott goes on a wonderful tangent about the failures of government at every level and how a mor...
